Roland’s new FA series completely reimagines the music workstation, streamlining it for effortless real-time power, ultra-fast workflow, and maximum versatility. Ready to support any type of music you play, the FA-08 features an 88-note weighted-action keyboard and comes packed with a massive sound collection inherited from the flagship INTEGRA-7, a ton of studio-quality effects, and expressive real-time controls, plus onboard sampling with zero load time for instant audio playback from the 16 backlit pads.

The Yamaha MOXF8 is better than ever! Yamaha fortified their popular MOX workstation with more great sounds and effects and even added a Flash board option slot. You get a massive arsenal of instrument voices including pianos, EPs, strings, winds, orchestral textures, guitars, basses, and drums, as well as a bevy of vintage and modern synth sounds. MOXF8 gives you Yamaha's expressive 88-key Graded Hammer Action keyboard, a potent MIDI controller with extensive DAW and VST control, a multichannel USB audio interface, robust sequencing, a plethora of arpeggiators, and a muscular software bundle.

Nicely weighted keys ( perhaps a little on the heavy side for some, but not really an issue ).

The sounds are pretty spot on, and the keys feel great.

The sounds are great, the pianos and strings are full and extremely life-like. I would highly recommend the FA-08 to anyone looking in that price range. It's a great value.

The sounds are top notch and the Ivory G keys are very useable.

The black keys are more sensitive than the white keys. This is a known issue which has never been fixed. When you play a chord or an arpeggio, the black keys are much louder than the white keys.

Yamaha MOXF8 Music Production Workstation

Phenomenal! An absolutely amazing keyboard. Key action is a bit stiff compared to some weighted keyboards but I really like it, they have an almost ivory feel.

The sounds are rich, full, fuzzy, tight, warm. Effects add so much but be prepared to spend a lot of time learning how to work everything. There are four manuals.

The quality of the sound is out of this world. I cannot describe how perfect the voices are. It's like playing a $70,000 grand piano, then press two buttons and you're playing a $5,000 vintage organ, then play as an entire orchestra.

Having lots of fun with this thing. Sound is excellent, weighted touch sensitive keys feel great.

The key weight feels a little heavy and the dozens of buttons, settings, and menus are difficult to master, but you are getting a great instrument for the price!

User interface is terribly non intuitive. It has so many buttons which are difficult to understand at a glance.

The worst thing to me was fragile keys. After using 7 months, keys were getting loose and striking lower. Some of them are making mechanical noise. Authorized repair technician said that it happens all the time.
